Goldtouch Adjustable Keyboard
The Goldtouch keyboard has been around for quite a long time, but the owners have bounced around a bit over the years. Nonetheless this is still the “gold” standard in ergonomic computer keyboards. This input device features a literal split-key design, and the two halves of the keyboard actually separate but stay connected by a…

Ergonomic Desk Chairs
If you are like me who spends a significant part of life working at a desk, then I suggest doing a little shopping for an ergonomic desk chair. You might argue that you already have a desk chair, so what’s all this “ergonomics”? Think about your poor back and neck. When you sit for hours…

As an aspiring ebook author and lover of books, I’ve been excited by the growth of ebook readers. I got a Kindle myself a couple months ago and have been using it when I travel. But, as someone who has had trouble with RSI in the past, I can’t help but wonder at the possible…

Writing Fiction with Voice Recognition Software?
As I’ve written about numerous times, voice recognition software can be a great way to give your hands a break. When you think of computer-related RSI and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, you might imagine programmers and web designers as the primary victims, but we writers pound away at the keyboard a lot too. While I’m a…
B-12 Deficiency Can Cause Numbness & Tingling in Hands (Among Other Symptoms)
I’m always interested in causes behind symptoms that often get lumped in under “repetitive stress injuries” (RSI). We blame typing and poor ergonomics for a lot of our woes, but when I was having a lot of trouble with hand pain, it was a matter of changing my diet, not my desk configuration. Of course,…
Laptops vs. Ergonomics
I’ve had laptops for years, and I love the convenience of being able to tote my computer around, doing a few blog posts from the couch, penning a story from bed, or just sitting on the floor next to the fireplace for some web surfing. But I of all people should know this isn’t a…
